FAMOUS HYMNS.

TOplady wrote the Crock of Ages"
hymn which is very precious to all
Christians, and one Of which they never
grow weary. He was educated for the
ministry, and began his labors among
the DevOnshire hills, in England, in the
year 176S. He is said to have been of
somewhat unpleasant disposition on
frequent occasions, but whenever he
swept the Tyre all the deep passions of
his nature melted into tender, holy
song. "Come, Thou Fount of Every
Blessing" was written by Robert Rob-
inson, and was the earliest of his many
lyrics. He was convert under the
preaching of the great Whitefield, but
was vacillating with respect to his
church connections and faith, first be-
coming Methodist, next an Independ-
emit, then Baptist, and at last Soci-
MAN, in which latter belief he died in
1870.
"All Hail the Power of Jesus N ame,n
was written by the Rev. Edward Per-
ronet. He was reared in the Church of
England, in which connection his father
was prominent clergyman, but after a
time, the younger Perronet left this
communion and labored under the pat
ronage of the somewhat celebrated Lady
Huntington. AS a minister he was
successful, and earnest in all he did.
but probably his greatest influence has
been exerted through the medium of
this one hymn. 'Come, ye Sinners,
Poor and Needy" which is always an
especial fayorite during seasons of re-
hgious awakening, was composed by
one Joseph Hart, native of London.
in which city he was born in 1872.
Timothy Dwight, one of the early pres
dents of Yale College, wss author of
II Love Thy Kingdom, Lord" hymn
very dear to the church everywhere.
Dr. Dwight wrote something like half
a dozen volumes of theological char
acter; yet, while these are largely for
gotten, this one exquisite version of the
18th Psalm will live for all time.
Walter Shirley, an English knight, as
also preacher, died in 1896. He was
one of the celebrated PENIS converts,
and labored with much success both in
England and Ireland. He composed
that grand hymn, "Sweet the Moments,
Rich in Blessing" The author of
Just as l am, without one Plea" was
Miss Charlotte Elliott, daughter of
one Charles Elliott, of Chaplain, En-
gland. She passed most of her years an
invalid, and died in 1871. One of the
most popular hymns among all religious
bodies is, NEARER, my God, to Thee. %
Miss Sarah Fuller Flower wrote it.
She was the second daughter of Benja-
min Flower, of England. She married,
In 1884, civil engineer by the name
OF Adams. She died in 1S49, at the age
OF forty four, and lies buried near Har-
low, in Essex. ''Son of my Soul, Thou
Saviour Dear" was composed by John
Keble, an English clergyman, and,
though he is remembered as the author
of many books, the one effort of his by
which his name will longest live is this
beautiful hymn. He died in 1927. That
hymn which has made Rev. Ray Pal
mer's name household word in thou
sands of Christian homes in all lands is
"Olivet," beginning with the words,
my Faith Looks Up to Thee" No
more popular hymn has been produced
in any age than this one, characterized
as it is by great grace and power.-Ia-

temptations of the world, as it is for
him who thinks only of the material
concerns of life.
A morning prayer is not only petit
ton for aid but it is a recognition of
moral obligations, to which the petition
er feels obligated. To renew the sacred
pledges of love in the home circle is a
safeguard with the man of the world
against its terrible temptations. SO
the frequent uplifting of the heart
toward the divine may prove network
of protection, and of its golden threads
the web of life and character may be
beautifully woven.
Again, prayer tends to enlarge the
mind; prepares it to receive greater
truths, and makes it broad in its inter-
pretations. Everything that purifies
the soul tends to ennoble it, and so the
most simple prayers, If they be the Of
feriDgs of sincere hearts, must be help
full, and will find answer in the culture
that in due time, will unfold the soul
in the broad light of truth. If we lose
faith in prayer because the response is
not as certain and speedy as replies to
our letters or kilograms, we mistake the
nature of prayer. The silent influence
is sometimes more powerful than that
which is heralded by sound of trumpet,
or seen in sudden change of life and
purpose. Often the sweet influence,
that can be better felt than described,
follows prayer in an uplifting of soul.
This may also be the effect of music or
exceeding beauty, but it is ennobling
and purifying, whatever it may result
from. Any influence that exalts the
spirit, causes the waves of passion to
subside, and takes the ache out of the
heart, is from the divine fountain of
life, and should be frequently sought.
1t would be strange that so many doubt
the efficacy of prayer if it had been
taught as a reasonable exercise, and
when we all come to see it in the best
light, and understand its best meaning
and real power it will be more frequent
ly engaged in as life-giving and life
strengthening exercise.
Up to the heavenly Father
Let our prayers rise day and night.
Up through mist and darkness,
Out on the wings of light.
And none that is really earnest
Will ever lose its way,
And none that asks for blessings
Will ever be answered-Nay.
Passionate, quick and eager
Be some of the prayers that rise;
Leisurely, long and thoughtful
Be others, sent to the skies.
Let some be sung in the temple
In solemn or joyous tones,
And some be spoken in whispers,
And some go forth in groans.
But will the Father harken
If we pray while in our sin;
If we knock at the gate of mercy
Will he graciously let us in
Aye, yes, because he loves us
With measureless. mighty love,
And dear are his earthly children
AS the safer ones above.
And SO let none in the shadows
Ever neglecaIlt pray,
For prayer will bring some sunshine
Into the darkest day.
And nhtienee strength and oouraue
And power to work, and bear,
And peace, and wonderful gladness,
Are answers unto prayer.
Then to the Heavenly Father
Just give your every care,
For the heart grows still and joyous,
That pours itself in prayer.

- "Will Carleton" the author of
"Betsy and l Are Out" and various other
ballads of the farm and home, was born
in the year 1916, on farm near Hudson,
Mich. AS boy he was a diligent stu
dent, and gave good account of his win
ter attendances in the old fashioned dis
trict school nearest his home. During
the summer he worked on the farm.
When sixteen years of age he began to
teach school, still continuing, however,
bis healthy bodily occupation as occasion
required, and never neglecting the deep
ening and expansion of his own intellect
ual life. When mere boy he had writ
ten for the newspapers, and his choice of
literary career was the proper expression
of natural bias. In 1871 was published
his first book, for private circulation.
Many who read this sketch have probably
heard Carleton as lecturer, in which ca
pacity he was quite popular.

Mr.. Stambuloff, the Bulgarian hero
and patriot, is small but strongly built
man, with brown complexion, bright eyes
and an energetic bearing. He is only
thlrty-seven years old, and when he was
elected a deputy in 1879 the Russian
conspirators tried to keep him out of his
seat because of his youth. They failed,
and he has ever since been their bitterest
foe, the traitor Zankoff being his especial
detestation.

ARMY DESERTERS.
Reasons for the Extensive Percentage OF
Desertion from Our Army.

Reasons for the Extensive Percentage Of
DesertiOn from Our Army.
Small as our army is, there is a most
excessive percentage of desertion from
it, and this although the men are far
better fed and paid than any soldiers in
the world. The reasons for this state
OF affairs can be readily found. A
great number of men enlist for the pur-
pose of being sent West, and then de-
sorting. This class is very large and
exceeding hard to deal with, as it is
next to impossible to apprehend them,
owing to the general feeling through
out the mountain regions that they
have escaped from kind of slavery.
Another class liable to desert consists
of young men of good family who have
become dissipated, and enlisted in a
moment of despair. But the stranpest
class is that of the chronic deserters,
These men enlist, desert, and then en-.
list again. The recruiting office is one
of the bestplaces in which to apprehend
deserters. Not infrequently men give
themselves up, preferring to serve theii
sentence in the military prison and
live in peace. heard such man say
that after he had deserted, he could not
see three men talking together without
suspectng that they were about to give
him up to the Government and secure
the thirty dollars reward. One of the
most amusing incidents of my life was |
when man came to my office, an
nounced himself as deserter, and wish. |

the boat for the Island was Just on the |
point of leaving, and that if we could |
catch it the commanding officer would
probably be good enough to place him
in confinement He waited to hear no
more. but rushed down the hill at full
speed and by great exertions succeeded
in getting on board the boat which was
to carry him to prison. The cause of
this strange performance was a desire
to secure medical attendance free
of charge. The hardest cases are those

Affairs In Ireland.

LONDON, March IA sensation has
been caused by the publication of General
Sir Redvers Buffers evidence before
the Land Commission. 1t appears that
General Butler testified that what law
there was in Counties Kerry, Clare and
Cork was on the side of the rich, and he ex.
pressed the opinion that it would be seri.
GUS matter, with their grievances unre-
dressed to attempt to suppress by force
the tenants right to openly associate for
the protection of their interests. A ma
1orlty OF the tenants, he said, struggled
TO pay their rents, and, where they
could, did pay; but in great many cases
The rents were too high and such as the
tenants could not pay. He said there
would never be peace in Ireland until there
had been established court having strong
coercive powers over bad landlords and
protective powers over poor tenants.
The Pail Mall Gazette declares that the
facts attested by General Butler come like
flash OF vivid lightning revealing the
naked horrors of organized injustice in
Ireland. 1t says: "No crime which the
moonlighters or dynamiters can commit
Will be comparable to the criminality of
giving another days grace to the foul fab
rlc of legalized wrong erected on Irish
sofia fabric which the Tories now seek
to buttress by further msdeeds.n
